Contribution of energy to an intelligent electrical network through an exercise apparatus

This invention describes an exercise machine that generates electricity when a person or animal uses it. The machine captures this electrical energy and sends it directly to a smart electrical grid. An optional battery can temporarily store the generated power before it's fed into the grid.

Why it matters: Smart-grid infrastructure and grid-tie inverter technology have matured significantly since 2010, making distributed energy contribution more feasible and efficient. The cost and complexity of integrating small-scale generation into the grid have decreased.
